Conor McGregor "won't fight this year" as concern grows over recovery from injury

Conor McGregor won't fight again this year, according to former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub.

The former two-weight world champion has been recovering from the broken leg he suffered in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last summer. He had initially planned to return to the UFC this summer but appears to behind schedule with his recovery programme.

McGregor has targeted a return to sparring by last month but has done so sparingly, and only with his hands. He has yet to return to full martial arts training and recently holidayed in the south of France with coach John Kavanagh who had hoped McGregor would be much further ahead with his training by now.
